lol..
im talking about when i pull Graspings
is a big problem for me atm,
rend ench = dead
so running away isnt really an option, specially if it pops up in a stupid place ¬.¬

Well...i still like my 600-smite idea to make it easier, but before i asked you to do that with me, i wasted about 15k ( possibly more) tryin and , well for the first 7 runs, i was able to clear chamber, in about 3-6mins, then run, come to the doorway to Chaos planes, and then proceeded to get pwnd by the super air eles, then it just annoying, so i kept trying- TIP- if your getting pwnd, take a break, and come back later-

Well my question is, I find it near impossible to beat the patroll of darkness thingies, by the time i get up to the finaly stretch, i have to run to the side to avoid getting killed, the MS idea works, but its still risky, the chain lightning they use does about 130dmg or so

So, how do you get there so fast? i mean by the time u get upt here, Stoneflesh is running out, you get pummled for tons by the behemoths while ur casting stoneflesh, which takes 4 secs (correct me if im wrong) and then to recast FDH its a lil over 1 sec ,

are you all using consumables or something? because i blew quite a few plat today trying to get the darn thing to work, and teh 2 times i did make it, once ig ot pwnd bcz i minimized by accidnt, and the other, was my own fault- iw as typing,

and has anyone noticed that the BDR's are able to inflict dmg even when SF and OF are up?

You shouldn't have to keep up Stoneflesh Aura during your run through the Mountains. It's very easy to dodge the majority of attacks by the Behemoths. If you feel it's necessary to maintain it, there are some spots where you can't be affected by the spirits.

If you need any further help, pm me in game.

...............behemoths are doing 15-70 damage, and it is very hard to dodge their attacks because, of the traps and the limmited wiggle room provided on teh route, one would think because of the weaving in and out, that they would miss, but apparently they don't

Pretty awesome!
Totally owns the way I did this with heroes. I just really hate running past Blades....I did it with the triple chop 12 min warrior farm
I hated it ever since
but this must be faster and more efficient

I'll try it out some time!

great job

Wield a axe/sword. Its the shit.

just did first run for today, perfect spawn at start, no mares, able to kill graspings in 4 mins,

during the run, where u hide on the stair case, ever notice that sometimes the Axte doesnt stop at the top sometimes?

(he stopped that time)

On thefinal stretch of run, before the last dash to the "doorway" to chaos, comming up the last slope, (wielding axe and bisoncup) didnt get hit by behemoths,..however as i went to avoid traps, a mare popped upa nd got me stuck- and thereby pwnd by traps!

Scarn · Apr 12, 2008, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Sometimes the aatxe doesn't resume his patrol, if that happens you should be able to kill the group of Graspings that approach you using the same tactics as everywhere else. Nightmare spawns in the Mountains are random and just plain bad luck.

Great build Tzar, been trying it for a while. Did it many many times, got to planes twice :/ 7 ectos though, so great farming spot!

Jordan (piano rocks) · Apr 12, 2008, 11:36 PM // 23:36

lols.. at start, i go to check/kill mares... aaxte follow me homee.. i go behind spirit... apparently i am now the one that is blocked, and the aaxte just comes around and beats the carp out of me... whats going on? ;p

Oh and as well, when i manage to make it to the chaos plains.. and im in battle.. maintaining enchants etc.
I notice some issues when using SF and OF
i Try to use oF then SF
but there are overlapping issues
for instance if you cast OF.. and tehn SF right after, that means you have to recast SF when OF is halfway done
no biggie, right? WRONG
When the time comes to recast OF ,, you look at ur enchant thingy and notice " Gawrsh ! SF is going to run out before i can cast OF ! Im doomed !"
which leaves you to think. "what do i cast first?" OF ovbiously
but chances are you will probably die ( atleast on the last group of Mindblades after you kill a bDr) before you can cast stoneflesh... help

You have to use Flame Djinn's Haste to outrun the aatxes.

Axe/sword doesn't do anything. They'll still hit you. I always equip a sword and shield through the mountains and still get hit. But the main thing that pisses me off about the run are those stupid traps. They just get me time and time again

This will give you a few extra seconds before they attack you, it will not completely stop them from attacking you.

**says sarcastically** " oh really really?"

heres how i do the beginnning.

As soon as i zone, i cast Balth spirit, and GoS and FDH, i run up to the left, aggro the aatxes, pull back asap, and then aggro the right, and pull back, that way i can kill the mares and not get ownd by them after i take quest.

And on the occasion one popsup and does use rend... theres not much i can do to not get pwnd, simply because FDH isnt recharged, and its happend 4 times now that i go behind teh spiirt, and so does Mr. Aatxe!2 hits and bam.. waste of 1k.

Did do a successful run last night though, sword and shield whielst running, they do hit you, but lesss often ( the behemoths)
Er i cleared just chaos plains
got 6 Ecto/ 3 phantom keys/ Ruby
and on teh run before that i got a gold gloom shield q 9 Str (-2 enchantt)

I died at bone pits, one of the threshers cast Lag Vortex, and i froze for 10 seconds!
Also, I've noticed that the Threshers do damage even with SF/OF up. happend on the first few mobs, got down to about 100hp before i nuked em...

I do want to offer my congrats, it is great build when you get to the farming spots.

Possibly swap out FDH for Mindbender?
Faster movement speed, and casting time for spells.

Spider Pig · Apr 14, 2008, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I'm gonna try this soon... I hope I won't have a lot of problems, because I'm not good in terra tanking...

I won't do that, because:

a; No dmg
b; No long speed boost
c; Longer recharge time

To OP, nice build and guide, I will try it out soon

why not? if u have a nice rank in Aura title, it should be just fine-
and damage? meh
usually you can wand any survivors dead in 3 secs

Good luck with wanding smites to death

Do you have a variant for people without GWeN? (me T_T)

I was thinking of taking out GoS for aftershock...
